Henry Saw: Obsessed

This movie is exactly what you think it is...

Have you seen Fatal Attraction? Swimfan? The Crush? A little bit of The Hand That Rocks the Cradle?

Then you have an idea of what Obsession is like.

We open the movie with happy couple Idris Elba and Beyonce moving into a nice new home somewhere in California. One day at work Elba meets a new Temp at the office played by Ali Larter. He obviously finds her attractive but stays professional and merely friendly towards her while she clearly falls head-over-heels for him. She flirts...spies a little...does everything a slightly crazy hot girl does in one of these movies. Finally, at the Christmas party, she puts the major moves on him in the men's room which he (somehow) resists. But, for no good reason, he doesn't tell Beyonce about this incident or the next encounter where she gets in his car in nothing but her underwear.

Things escalate, Ali Larter gets more crazy, Beyonce gets to act mad for awhile, and (slight spoiler alert) at the end we get a big showdown between Ali Larter and Beyonce. And for me this was the peak of the movie...cause we are given the ultimate woman vs. crazy woman action scene. Seriously, it's an action scene, complete with different weapons, changing local, each combatant gaining the advantage multiple times, the works. It's unbelievable and hysterical. I was giggling the whole time at how over-the-top they played it.

This is one of the more predictable, generic, silly, but slightly enjoyable movies I've seen in awhile. I really should give it a C+ or worse but...this movie had very low ambitions and achieves everything it set out to do. I liked it well enough.

Grade: B-

Best Scene: The Spider-Man Vs. Doctor Octopus like brawl between Larter and Knowles at the end. Simply fantastic.
